Coolant DeliveryBuy Swiveljet Nozzles

The reasoning behind Swiveljet is: Why not optimize grinding and machining by changing the coolant delivery line to a line that creates a well defined stream with the newer higher pressure as it leaves the nozzle. At the same time, the line needs to be flexible enough to be repositioned easily while rigid enough to hold geometry under stronger pump pressure.

From 1985 to 2005 the inventor of Swiveljet sold abrasive grinding wheels. He helped very small to very large companies in reducing cycle times. While doing so, he realized then that little attention was given to the coolant line as long as the coolant line was aimed correctly. Plus, many companies felt if the lines came with the machine, why change them? See how they work.

Swiveljet is now meeting the needs of medical, automotive and aerospace companies by supplying different products for different needs. The highly engineered product has helped many to be more competitive and optimize manufacturing.

The SwivelJet is a long overdue enhancement to coolant lines for grinding machines that vastly improves productivity and associated machining profits. Developed after years of consultation and input with grinding machine operators, SwivelJet directly addresses the limitations of existing coolant delivery systems with a flexible higher pressure line system that improves productivity across a wide range of cooling line characteristics. The SwivelJet line is easy to install, position, lengthen, shorten and change out nozzles. It increases directed coolant pressure to exactly where it’s needed, dramatically reducing heat, thus reducing cycle time plus machine load. It reduces wheel wear by cleaning with increased pressure.

Swiveljet was designed to give you a better choice. It is designed to deliver a strong jet of coolant to the grinding or machining area. It is designed to be flexible while rigid at the same time. And it is designed to reduce production costs and increase profits.

The line is made of solid brass. As designed, a single hex line will holds its geometry at 125 psi. The links swivel up to 30 degrees each, giving the flexibility needed for most setups. Adding or removing a link changes the overall length of the line by about 1 ¾”.

Originally, the line was available with hex style tightening only. A new tightening system was introduced in the middle of 2010. It is used on the smaller line. The new knurled system allows for hand tightening with no loss to line geometry. No wrenches or tools are needed.
